On Friday September 29, on behalf of the taxpayers of the
City of Cape May, the TPA was pleased to present a donation of
$1,500 to the Cape May Community Food Closet. For forty
years this volunteer organization has helped those in need in
our community. This donation is, in our small way, a thank
you to all those who work to make these efforts productive.
The TPA urges our members and our neighbors to visit the Food
Closet website to get a sense of their efforts and to consider
donating your time and/or money to help the cause.

The Taxpayers Association of Cape May has always believed
that we are most fortunate to be a part of a special community,
a national treasure loved by residents and visitors alike.
We also recognize that as we are so fortunate, we have an
obligation to those among us who do not share that fortune.
The Cape May community is blessed to have among us
individuals and organizations who share that concern and have
worked tirelessly to seek out and help those among us who need
things we too often take for granted.
The Cape May Community Food Closet is a prime example of such
an effort. Since 1982, this tireless band of volunteers
has been gathering and distributing groceries and other
necessities to qualified or low-income people, both on a regular
schedule and an emergency basis.
Far too often real people do real work for our community but
go unnoticed, and unappreciated.
TPA has prospered in recent years, as our membership has
grown to almost 1000 members. We focus on issues like tax
increases, spending priorities, revenues need, and on and on.
Our work often seems to focus on what’s wrong with Cape May,
but tonight we want to focus on what’s right with Cape May, and
we believe that there is nothing more right and more valuable to
our community than the Cape May Community Food Closet.
We are pleased to provide this donation to your organization
to assist you in some small way as you make our community a more
caring and a more compassionate place to live.
Thank you for all you do.
